Name: Badnarik

Gender: Male

Eye colour: Forest-brown

Species: Badger

Place of Origin: Mossflower

Appearance: A massive, broad-shouldered badger with a pelt of sable black, Badnarik is every bit the Warlord of Salamandastron he had trained to be, a tattered cloak of deep-red flowing from his shoulders and a silver-encrusted belt across his back bearing his hammer.

Weapons: Sledgehammer, natural defences

Personality: Due to the many wounds inflicted by his vermin torturers when he was young, Badnarik had gone almost to the point of insanity, loathing of everything reminding him of the life he once had and what he could have had. Many a time had he descended into Bloodwrath randomly, destroying anything in his path in a wild burst of power.

Backstory: The oldest son of Branka Ironstrike, Lady of Salamandastron, he had lived his entire life in her shadow, learning from his beloved mother's experience and gentle paw, training to take her place when the time came. But once he reached 18 seasons, she sent him out to make a name for himself as all badgers did when adventure beckoned...And not 2 seasons in, was captured by a vermin horde, and tortured. Oh yes, he broke free soon enough, but the scars inflicted both mentally and phyically had made their mark upon Badnarik. He fled from the horde, only to return later and destroy many of them in a crazed rush of energy and vengeance. Slaying all who stood before him and alongside him, friend and foe alike, Badnarik wandered Mossflower aimlessly, until the fateful night he fell upon the hut of a seer. Controlling his madness just enough to listen to the begging old stoat, he learned of something strange and yet appealingly beautiful...Something that, he hoped, might cure him of the illness he knew he had-The Blood Diamond, the jewel of Eternity. Unstopping and dogged, the badger siezed a ship, forced the crew into submission, and sailed for the island rumored to hold his dream.

Age: 32 seasons.

Occupation: Mossflower's friendly neighborhood berserker, and the Lord of a ship and a cowering crew of smugglers.

Affiliation: Neutral
